PREFACE. 



THE author does not make any claim to the distinction of 
having written a book which will fill a long felt want. He 
is well aware of the fact, that the shelves of our publishers 
are well provided with a number of excellent works on club 
exercises in all forms and if the kind reader should ask me then, 
what prompted me to write this book, this would be my answer, or 
apology, if you please: I have heard, and still hear among the 
professional men and women unfavorable comments about club 
exercises, but knowing that there is no other kind of hand apparatus 
that would admit such a great, almost inexhaustible variety of 
pleasing exercises as the clubs, believing that the clubs should have 
a prominent place in educational gymnastics, that by collaboration 
of mind and muscle in these exercises we can develop the highest 
degree of co-ordination and being an enthusiastic exponent of these 
exercises for their aesthetic value especially in the physical education 
of women, I have always tried to overcome the objections to the 
clubs by arranging the lessons in such a way so as to satisfy also 
the physiological demands, and the urgent requests of numerous 
Summer School students finally induced me to present my collection 
of club exercises before the teachers in a book form. 

Some of the lessons will seem long, perhaps difficult, but to 
those I lead the teacher gradually, step by step, every lesson being 
a preparatory lesson for the following one, the same elements being 
repeated in a different form, and if the teacher will faithfully follow 
this method, he or she will not experience any difficulty even with 
those, which at first sight might seem difficult for ordinary class work. 

The exercises are so arranged, that in every lesson all muscles 
are brought into play. When we try to master some new, unknown 
circles, some more difficult combinations, there the trunk and leg 
movements are inserted as intermediate exercises, and when we 
swing circles, which we have perfectly mastered in previous lessons, 
these are combined with steps, leg and trunk movements, thus 
overcoming the oft repeated objections, that the club exercises are 



6 



one-sided, or if combined with trunk and leg movements, too difficult. 

The exercises are arranged rhythmically, not because the author 
expects teachers to practice every lesson with musical accompani- 
ment, but his object in arranging them so is to assist an inexper- 
ienced teacher, after his (her) class masters a certain lesson, to be 
able, without any special effort, to repeat the same with music. 
Music is becoming more and more a part of our work and next to 
the fancy steps and gymnastic dancing, as another branch of rhyth- 
mical exercises in Physical Education, the clubs may justly claim 
a prominent place. 

Like "the truth sometimes is so simple, that it does not look 
learned enough and people must add something to it to give the 
truth a respectable and academical look," so these lessons, being 
free from high-sounding technical te*~ms, various notations and 
bewildering abbreviations, will not perhaps seem scientific enough. 
My desire, however, was to make the wording of the exercises as 
simple as possible, so as to make them explicit especially to those 
teachers who need our help the most. 

Real happiness can be found only in work directed at some good 
end, and I find my real happiness in assisting all those engaged in 
that noble work, which is destined to make people better physically, 
mentally and morally, and if this little book will bring into our 
Gymnastic Institutions some of those happy moments, such as I 
have experienced with many of my classes in going from one lesson 
to another, meeting in every one some old friends in different garbs 
and forming a pleasant acquaintance with new ones, I shall be more 
than repaid for my labor.

NOMENCLATURE. 

Knowing from experience, how discouraged and disheartened 
an inexperienced (or busy) teacher becomes, when he encounters 
various abbreviations and notations on each page and when in his 
attempt to master some of the exercises he is obliged continu- 
ally tc consult the "explanatory chapter", I am 
presenting the exercises in such a simple form, that 
it will be necessary to keep in mind only these 
few definitions, which will enable every teacher 
to understand thoroughly every lesson after its 
first reading. 

Starting position. There are two start- 
ing positions, from which all the excercises are 
executed: a) arms bent upw. to an acute angle, 
clubs perpendicular in front of shoulders. 
(Fig. 1 .) b) arms at sides, clubs hanging 
downward. (This only seldom used.) When 
we exercise with one club, one arm holds the 
club in starting position a) and the free arm 
is bent inward in rear of the body. When the 
pupils are so advanced that they are able to 
swing perfectly all arm circles with both clubs, 
but it is still necessary to practice the hand (|) 
circles with one club, then the arm, ready to swing 

the hand circles, resumes the starting position a) and the other arm 
is resting on the waist, with club on the forearm. (Fig. 2.) The 
advantage of this position is, that the idle club does not interfere 
with the movements of the other and it also affords one arm to take 
a desired rest. Fundamental position being the same for all the 
exercises, (heels closed) will not be indicated. 

Circles. We distinguish three different circles: a) large arm 
circle, b) small arm circle, and c) hand circle. 

a) Large arm circle. Club in the line with a 
straight arm, centre or a fixed point of the circle being the shoulder. 

b) Small arm circle. Strictly speaking, the centre 
or a fixed point of this circle should be the elbow, but in swinging 




8 



this circle the upper arm also is partially active. In executing a 
small arm circle the hand is not raised higher than it is in starting 
position. 

c) Hand circle. Centre or a fixed point is the wrist. 
Arm swing is an unfinished circle, or any fraction of an arm 
circle, less than 360 degrees and more than half a circle (180 de- 
grees). In all the arm swings it is always indicated, in what position 
the swing terminates. 

Half-arm circle is an armswing of 180 degrees (called also 
"pendulum swing") — from horizontal position 
right, to horizontal position left or vice versa 
(front half-arm circle) — and from horizontal 
position forward to horizontal position back- 
ward cr vice versa (flank half-arm circle.) 

Swing over. "Swing over" is a small half- 
arm circle rear of the head. With the left club 
from a horizontal position sideward swing small 
half-arm circle rear of head to a horizontal 
position sideward right in front (Fig. 3.) Or 
the left club from a horizontal position sidew. 
right, raise overhead and with a small half- 
arm circle rear of head, swing to a horizontal 
position sidew. left, 

Tip over. From a horizontal position 
sidew.. inward or forward, raise the club to 
perpendicular position and tip it over on the 
forearm. 

Arms bent in a position inward. To tip over, when the 
half-arm circle or an arm swing terminates in a position inward 
(front of chest), the arms must be bent to a right angle, height of 
shoulders, r. forearm in front of left or left in front of right (Fig. 4.) 

Front, rear and flank swings and circles. All swings 
and circles in a perpendicular plane in front of the body, are desig- 
nated as front swings or circles — those in rear as rear swings 
or circles. All those executed in a perpendicular plane a the side 
of the body are designated as flank swings or circles. 

Directions. For the rront and rear circles and swings we 
distinguish the following directions: a) to the left (both clubs 





9 



starting to the left), b) to the right (both clubs starting to the 
right), c) outward (left club starting to the left, right to the right) 
d) inward (left club starting to the right, right to the left.) The 
term inward and outward for the front and rear swings and circles 
is used also in all excercises with one club, i. e., with the r. club 
to the right outward, to the left inward. 

For the flank swings and circles we distinguish: a) forward, 
when in executing a swing or a circle the club starts forward, 
b) backward, when the club starts backward. 

Hand circle, double hand 
circle, arm circle and double 
arm circle, etc. The term hand 
circle — arm circle — arm swing, *** ^ ^ 
etc. indicates always one club — 
and double hand circle, 
double arm circle and double arm 
swing, indicates that the movements are 
executed with both clubs. 

Double flank arm circle pass the left 
or right side. If we swing the double 
flank small or large arm circle pass the left 
side, it is understood that both clubs execute 
the circle at the left side of the body, right 
arm being extended to the left in front of 
body. If we swing double arm circle pass 
the r. side, both clubs execute the named 
circle at the right side, left arm being ex- ( 3. ) 

tended to the right. 

Hand circles and position of the arm in their execution. 

Front low hand circle. Arm extended downward — neck 
of the club between the forefinger and the thumb. (Fig. 5.) 

Hand circle rear of shoulder. Arm bent to a right angle, 
upper arm in horizontal, forearm in perpendicular position, elbow 
pointing sideward. (Fig. 6.) This position of the arm facilitates 
the execution of double hand circles especially inward and is con- 
ducive to a good posture. 

Front upper hand circle. Arm in a position upward — the 
knob or the "head" of the club between the thumb and bent middle 
finger, forefinger bent over the knob. (Fig. 7.) 




10 



Horizontal hand circle above the hand. This circle is 
executed in a horizontal plane, outward or inward. The neck of 
the club is held between the thumb and the forefinger. In swinging 
this circle, either outward or inward, the base of the club starts 
forward. (Fig. 8.) 

Horizontal hand circle below the hand. Executed in a 
horizontal plane under the arm — hold the same as for the upper 
front hand circle. 

Low rear hand circle. Inward: From a starting position 
a) execute an arm swing inward, and when opposite the hip bend 
the elbow so as to raise the hand to the height of hip. Wrist is 
bent at the same time and the forefinger lifts the club to a perpen- 
dicular position. (Fig. 9.) In that position move the hand rear 
of the body inward, drop the club inward, extend arm downward 
and from that position swing the club sideward and continue up- 
ward. — Outward: Arm swing outward rear of body and by 
bending the elbow and wrist, raise the club to a perpendicular 
position. (Fig. 10.) Keeping the arm bent, move the hand 
forward and when in front, extend downward, swing upward and 
continue. 

Front arm circle inward and hand circle rear of shoulder 
outward. Swing a large front arm circle with the right club 
inward and hand circle rear of right shoulder inward. Without 
changing the direction of the hand circle, swing the same rear 
of the left shoulder — thus getting the above named combination : 
r. front arm circle inward and hand circle rear of shoulder outward. 
(Fig. 11.) In executing the hand circle the arm is extended as much 
as possible, not higher than the chin, hand close to the shoulder. 

Front large arm circle outward and hand circle rear of 
shoulder inward. With the right club swing front large arm 
circle and hand circle rear of right shoulder outward. Without 
changing the direction of the hand circle, swing the same rear of left 
shoulder. Position of the arm the same as described above. (Fig. 1 2) 

Flank hand circle. We swing the flank hand circle either on 
the outer or inner side of the arm. If on the outer side, the arm is 

either straight or bent — usually bent — (see Fig. 14.) On the 

inner side arm is in a straight position forward. Hold the club 
between the thumb and forefinger, like in front low or rear shoulder 



1 1 



circle. In swinging the flank hand circle on the outer side of the 
arm, the palm is facing upward — on the inner side, the palm is 
facing downward. 



Flank hand circle outside the op- 
posite shoulder. Extend the arm in the 
opposite direction (right to the left or left to 
the right) height of shoulders and swing the 
flank hand circle outside the opposite 
shoulder. These are all the hand circles 
the teacher will find in all the 48 lessons and 
the three Exhibition numbers.

MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT. 

Waltz is universally considered as the most appropriate musical 
accompaniment for club exercises and all the exercises in Parts I., 
II. and III. are arranged for waltz music. One count equals one 
waltz measure, therefore if the time is indicated 1 ! 2! it means two 
measures. Small and large arm circles are executed in two counts 
or two waltz measures, hand circles in one 
count or in one waltz measure. But the arm 
circles in some of the exercises are executed in 
a "quick tempo" and then we swing each 
arm circle in one count or one waltz measure. 
The author, however, prefers the so-called 
"schotische"music(4 4 time)f or club exercises' 
because it makes the exercises much livelier. 
Besides that, the waltz can be used for some 
exercises only — "schottische' for all, especially 
for the "follow circles." If schottisch music 
is used (Part IV.) and the time is marked 
1-! 2-! it indicates two counts in one 
schottisch measure or one count on two notes. 
If the time is marked 1 ! 2! 3! 4! it equals 
also one measure, but one circle, or swing 
must be executed in one count, or on one 
note — four swings or circles in one measure. 
Where the time is marked 1-4! it indicates, 
that we execute a certain movement in one measure (mostly in

HINTS TO TEACHERS. 



/ 



In teaching the club exercises, follow the old pedagogical rule: 
"give the pupils facts first, explanation afterwards." To expect 
pupils to master new exercises and at the same time to remember all 
technical terms would be expecting too much. After the pupils 
learn certain swings or circles, then it is time enough gradually to 
instill in their minds some of the terms. 

Do not try to accomplish too 
much, but what you teach, teach well. 
See that all the fundamental exercises 
are perfectly mastered, for the more 
time we devote to fundamentals, the 
quicker will be our progress after- 
wards. Bear in mind, that cnly by \ \ 
thoroughly mastering little things, V 
we are able to accomplish big things. 

Be sure that you know every lesson 
perfectly when you stand before the class. Nothing 
makes our work so tedious and nothing causes so 
much restlessness among the pupils, as an em- 
barassed teacher, who is vainly trying to conceal his 
(her) unpreparedness. 

If your time is limited and you are not able to 
finish the whole lesson, divide it into two halves, i. e., 
if the class exercises with one club, then practice the 
combination outward r. and 1. and in the next lesson 
inward r. and 1. In the third lesson repeat all. If 
the class exercises with both clubs, exercise right ( 6. ) 
and left, in the next outward and inward, then all. 
But never omit the calisthenic part. 

After replacing the clubs give the class vigorous running exercises 
— with heels or knees elevation — especially if some heavy appara- 
tus work follows the club exercises. 

Do not exercise with musical accompaniment, when you teach 
some new, unknown exercises. It enhances the interest in the club 
exercises if the pupils first master certain group of combinations 
and then repeat the same with music. And even then, try to assist 
by timely directions. 



14 



Some of the lessons perhaps will seem too long — but if you 
master the first group, you can easily go through the whole lesson. 
Combinations remain the same, only the direction is changed. 

You will make your work much easier and make the club exercises 
more popular if after each lesson you will devote some time to the 
new circles contained in the next lesson. Some of the more en- 
thusiastic pupils will try to learn them as 
quickly as possible (to get ahead of the 
f \ others) and the others will be at least so 

I \ acquainted with the new circles, that it will 

\ J be possible to go through the next lesson 

^ I J without much trouble. 

N x y| ^ Before starting with the first lesson, 

devote the first period to preparatory 
exercises. Teach the pupils how to hold the 
club, how to swing the club from one hand 
to another with an outward or an inward 
swing, how to hold the club for calisthenics 
and after these, how to raise the club quickly 
to starting position for swinging. 

One of the chief difficulties in teaching 
the club exercises is, that some pupils are 
not able to advance as fast as others, 
thus hampering the class in its progress, and 
another source of trouble is pupils, who 
enter the gymnasium after the class has had a 
good start in these exercises. To overcome 
this difficulty, allow me to recommend the 
following method, which has helped me in 
( 7. ) getting satisfactory results even under these 

adverse conditions : Place the more advanced 
pupils in the outer files and the slow ones or beginners in the middle 
files and give them exercises according to their ability. While the 
advanced pupils swing arm and hand circles, beginners swing arm 
circles — while the advanced pupils exercise with two clubs, the 
beginners with one club, etc. It is hardly necessary to add, that 
the combinations must be so arranged, that they can be executed 
in the same number of counts. I admit, that it is a rather strenuous 
task, but what do we expect to accomplish without hard work?

(Changing front arm circles to flank circles is without interruption. 
When the clubs reach the highest point on the 8th count, make a% 
turn 1. or r. and the clubs continue the flank movement. Remember 
that when we swing front circles inward, after the % turn left, the 
left club continues the movement backward, right forward, and after 
the turn to the right — right backw. and left forward. If the % 
turn is preceded by the outward circles, then after the turn to the 
left — left continues flank movement forward and right backward. 
If we turn right, the direction is reversed. Foot remains in a stride 
pes. from 1st to 15th count.)

PART IV. 



a) Preparatory exercises for follow arm and hand circles 

b) combinations with follow arm and hand circles. 



143 



THE so-called "follow arm and hand circles" in which one club 
follows the other, are easily mastered by those, who are 
endowed with the natural sense of rhythm, but are a source 
of endless trouble to others, in whom the sense of rhythm is lacking. 
I have known students, who were excellent club swingers, but when 
they have attempted the follow circles, they have drifted un- 
conscientiously to alternate circles, without even noticing the dif- 
ference. In such cases we try to "drill the rhythm into their arms," 
so to speak, as we sometimes try to "drill the rhythm into their feet" 
in gymnastic dancing. With that object in view, I have arranged 
several preparatory exercises for this part, which in my experience 
have proved to be a great help even in such cases, which we sometimes 
are tempted to term as "hopeless." 

The best musical accompaniment for the follow circles is 
"schottische" — (four % notes in one measure) and the exercises are 
marked as follows: 1! 2! 3! 4! four counts or four movements 
in one measure; 1-! 2-! two counts or two movements in one 
measure; 1—4! one count or one movement in one measure. 
Therefore, if we execute four circles in one measure, or one circle on 
each note, the ex. is marked: 1 ! 2! 3! 4!. Where we execute 
two arm swings, arm or hand circles in one measure, or each circle 
or arm swing on two % notes, the ex. is marked 1-! 2—1 and 
where we execute one movement in one measure, the ex. is marked 
1-4! 

All the exercises in Part IV. are arranged for "schottische" music

(Note: The ex. 1. from a) to e) is repeated four times. After 
the first change, the class swings the clubs facing to the left from the 
original position, after the second change it faces backward — after 
the third, to the right from the original position and after the fourth, 
all return to their original places. The flank hand circle forward ex. 
f) indicate, in what direction to swing the following club combination ; 
hand circle on the left side of arms indicate to the left — outside the 
arms indicate outward, on the right side to the right, and inside the

PART V 



"Club drills" for exhibitions: 

a) Drill with one club for beginners (boys and girls.) 

b) Club drill for women (advanced.) 

c) Club drill for men (advanced.) 

Suggestions for "marching to places" and "taking 
distance" for club exercises. 



187 



IN arranging a "Club Drill" for Exhibition we must take into 
consideration the number of participants and also the ability 
of the weaker ones. Every experienced teacher knows, that 
for a larger number of pupils taking part he must select such exercises 
the elements of which have been mastered in previous lessons, for 
all he has to do then is to arrange those elements into harmonious, 
pleasing combinations without taxing the memory of the pupils to 
any great extent. The lessons in Part I. contain enough material 
for "Exhibition Drills" for if we alternate the swinging ex. with 
calisthenics, then repeat the same as dissimilar ex., we shall be able 
to present a pleasing drill even with a class of beginners, who have 
mastered only a few hand circles, not forgetting the physiological 
benefit, which the participants should derive from the oft repeated 
practice for exhibition. If we neglect this, the time spent on the 
exhibition drills is wasted. 

Many of the lessons in Part III. and IV. may be arranged for 
exhibition drills the same way for more advanced classes. Some of 
the club exercises are combined with steps, turns, knee and trunk 
bending and if we arrange the drill as suggested above, we can get a 
number of suitable exercises, and not waste much valuable time 
in preparations, provided the participants became well acquainted 
with those exercises in their regular class work. 

The following three drills are presented here for exhibition 
purposes: a) drill with one club for a larger number of beginners, 
boys and girls (those who have mastered three hand circles only) 
b) drill for a limited number of women (advanced) and c) drill for 
a limited number of men (advanced.) 



188 



I. 

Drill With One Club, 



For beginners — boys and girls. 



(Arranged by the author for a class of lower Juniors for a Public Demonstra- 
tion at the American College of Physical Education Feb. 1915.) 



In marching to places, the participants carry club in right hand 
(either on shoulder or with r. arm bent in rear inward), the left arm 
at side. After taking places in "open order", on a given command, 
or during the introduction on a given count, raise the club to 
starting position: r. arm bent, club in perpendicular position 
front of shoulder; left arm bent in rear inward, (resting on small of 
back.) 

Musical accompaniment: waltz, one count to one measure. 

The drill is executed from beginning to the end without any 
interruption, unless a teacher wishes to arrange a "tableaux" between 
different parts. 

The participants are arranged as follows: 

o 1 o 1 o 1 o 

o 1 o 1 o 1 o 

o 1 o 1 o 1 o 

o 1 o 1 o 1 o 



With a large number of pupils, we may have columns of twos or 
columns of fours in place of files. 

(Suggestion: Teach the girls and boys separately and then one 
or two rehearsals together will suffice to have them prepared for 
exhibition.)

HI. 

Club Drill for Men. 

(Arranged by the author for a Gymnastic Demonstration on " Freshmen 
day" at Medill High School, June 1906.) Somewhat amplified for the book. 

This drill was originally arranged for 16 boys, but may be 
arranged for 32 or 64, two or four groups, 16 men in each. 




(77.) 

The club exercises are alternated with fancy marching in "double 
time". In marching, execute one step on each note, or 4 steps in 
one measure: Club exercises 1-4! one movement in one measure 
1-! 2—1 two swings or circles in one measure 1 ! 2! 3! 4! four 
swings or circles in one measure. 

March on toes, with a slight heel and knee raising. 

During the march participants carry clubs, with arms bent backw. 
inward (Fig. 80.) Finishing the march with three stamps on the 
last measure, they raise the clubs to starting position and after the 



206 



club ex., bend arms in rear inward and press the clubs gently to 
the sides. 

Musical accompaniment "schottische." 

The music for this drill was specially arranged — each marching 
part contains 24 measures, club swinging part 32 measures except 
part b) which contains also 24 measures and the last part j), which 
contains 48 measures. 

The participants march in a single file. On a given command 
"mark time", face forw. and halt. Music plays 8 or 16 measures 
introduction, after which all start forw. 

a) Marching. 

1 ) Front rank 4 steps forw., with 4 steps in place V2 turn to the 
left, 4 steps forw. and with 4 steps in place 1/2 turn to> the left 4

and then 8 steps forw., — even "ranks of twos" 4 steps forw., wheel in 
a circle to the left and 4 steps forw. (Fig. 81 .) 4 m. 

3) all ranks of twos: wheel in a circle to the left, (8 steps) V2 
wheel to the right (4) and 4 steps in place 4 m.

Marching to. Places and "Taking Distance" for 
Club Exercises. 

Knowing that such a little variation like a change of formation 
or change in the way of "taking distance" adds to the interest of the 
calisthenic work, I am adding here a few suggestions for different 
ways of "taking distance" for club exercises, which may be used in 
an ordinary class lesson or in a public exhibition. 

a) From a column of fours: The pupils march in a column 
of fours, carrying the clubs on shoulders. On a given command 
they extend arms forward, with clubs on the forearms and open ranks 
by marching obliquely outward, at the same time moving arms 
gradually to a position sideward. After halting the odd files take 
one step forward, even files one step backward, then swing the clubs 
downward and to starting position. 

b) From a front line: A very quick way — especially for a class 
of beginners — is the following: the pupils march in a single file and 
after halting, face left or right (front line.) If the marching did not 
precede the club ex., they "count off" 4 after facing. Nos. 3. now 
take 6 steps forward, closing on 7 ! Nos. 2.4 steps forw. closing on 5 ! 
and Nos. 4. 2 steps forward, closing on 3 ! Nos. 1 . remain in place. 
They now face 1. or r. and are ready for ex. 

c) with a more advanced class, we may execute the same more 
expeditiously in the following way: No. 3. starts on 1 ! No. 2. 
follows on 3 ! No. 4. on 5 ! and all close on 7 ! facing L or r. at 
the same time. If we want them to close to their original places, 
they face in the direction of No. 1 and close in the same order. 
No. 3. starting on 1 ! No. 2. on 3! and No. 4. on 5! If, however, 
the place for replacing clubs is nearer to No. 3. the pupils face in the 
direction of No. 3. and No. 1 . starts on 1 !, No. 4. on 3! and No. 2. 
on 5! 

d) from a single file, by marching sideward: Pupils, "counted 
off" 1-4!, march in a single file and halt in the middle of the gymna- 
sium. On a given command Nos. 1 . and 2. take four steps sideward 
outward. Nos. 1. to the left, Nos. 2. to the right; counting 2 for 
each step, it takes 8 counts. Nos. 3. take 3 steps sidew. left with 
Nos. 1 . (1-6!) and on the last 2 counts (7-8!) take one step inward, 
or to the right. Nos. 4. again make 3 steps sidew. r. with No. 2., 
and on the last 2 counts, one step sidew. to the left. We may also 



216 



execute each side step in one count, and then the "opening" would 
be executed in four counts. 

e) from a front line: pupils are marching in a front line — or 
in several front lines, one line behind the other about 8 paces apart — 
"counted off" 1-3! and the 



123123123123123123 



"ranks of three" are counted "first" and "second". After halting 
No. 1 . on a given command takes one step forward, left oblique, 
(in front of No. 2.) and No. 3. one steps backw. r. oblique (forming 
in rear of No. 2.) (1 ! 2!) No. I. now takes 2 steps forward and 



3 3 3 3 3 3 
2 2 2 2 2 2 
111 1 1 1 



No. 3. two steps backward (3! 4!) and mark time (5! 6!). On 7! 
and 8! the first files take one step forward, second files one step 
backward and the front line is opened for ex. in 8 counts as follows: 



3 3 3 

3 3 3 

2 2 2

217 



In an open field, with a large number of pupils, we can change 
any number of front lines to an "open order" in 8 counts. Close in the 
following way: on a given command — (or in an open field at given 
signal) the first files take one step backward, second files one step 
forward (1 ! 2!) Next signal No. I. take 2 steps backward, No. 3. 
two steps forward (thus closing to No. 2. — (3 ! 4!) mark time 5 ! 6! 
and at the last signal Nos. Land 3. step to their original places in a 
front line (7! 8!) 

f) from a column (or columns) of fours: Clubs are carried on 
shoulders, and after halting on a given command (or signal) pupils 
extend arms forward with clubs on the forearms. The outer pupils 
mark time and turn slowly outward (r. to the r., 1. to the 1.) at the 
same time moving arms gradually to a position sideward. (Make Y2 
turn with 8 steps in place. The inner pupils march in a half a circle 
(8 steps outward, left to the left, right to the right) moving arms 
gradually sideward and keeping them in line with the arms of the 
outer pupils. On the 8th count they are all facing backward. With 
8 steps in place make ] /i turn — (left files to the left, right files to the 
right, keeping arms in a position sideward.) On a given command 
(or signal) odd files take one step forw. even files one step backward 
and swing clubs to starting position.
